The correct way to use eye essence and the misunderstandings of using it

Eye essence is a gelatin-like essence that acts like eye cream. It has a refreshing texture and is easily absorbed. It can replenish and condition the skin in time according to personal needs and the characteristics of the body's skin. It can tighten the skin around the eyes and prevent skin aging. When using eye essence, you need to understand the correct usage methods and avoid some misunderstandings.

How to use eye serum:

1. Use facial cleanser and toner to clean your face and eye area.

2. Then use the ring fingers of both hands to take out a grain of rice-sized eye essence.

3. Rub the essence evenly and press gently on the skin around the eyes, from the end of the eye, lower eyelid, inner corner of the eye, upper eyelid, and finally back to the end of the eye.

4. Circle the eye skin five to six times in order to allow the nutrients to be fully absorbed. If the eye problem is more serious, you may want to add more massage care.

5. After applying the eye essence, wait for a while and then continue using it according to the third and fourth steps.

Misuse

Apply with fingers other than your ring finger

The skin around the eyes is particularly delicate and needs to be handled very gently, and the ring finger is the lightest of all fingers. Some people are used to applying eye cream with their index or middle fingers, but the force they use is still too strong for the skin around the eyes and can easily cause wrinkles around the eyes.

There is no "dividing line" with face cream

Many people don’t pay attention when applying facial cream and will apply it around the eyes and stack them together. Then stop complaining about fat particles, this method of use is the culprit. The correct way is to use the orbital bone as the dividing line between the "eyes" and the entire "face", use it on the "eyes" and use the cream on the entire "face", and do not overlap the two.

Only try it on your hands when you buy it

The skin around the eyes is only one-third as thick as that on the face, not to mention the different structure. If you try it with your hands, your perception of absorbency, moisturizing degree, etc. will definitely be inaccurate. It is best to try it directly on the eyes and combine it with massage techniques to enhance the functions, and then see the results after about half an hour. Of course, it would be best if you could take the sample home and try it out for a few days before making a decision.

Excessive use

Don't say this is a cliché. A survey shows that 37% of Chinese women still have this problem. The skin around the eyes is extremely thin. Using too much will not only fail to absorb, but will also cause burden and accelerate aging. If there are no clear requirements in the product instructions, an amount the size of a grain of rice is generally enough.
